Friday (coincidentally today is Friday😛)

Before starting can u guess gifts ? Specially Manik's gift or other thing will he gift her something or not ?

Birthday morning ,

A cute girl was sleeping on her fluffy mattress hugging teddy bear very close to her heart . Her face shone under the fresh sun rays which were peeking through window. Sunlight highlighted the marks of dried tear drops on her cheeks which she shed last night due to one morron in her life who apparently have bacame reason of her every emotion. But before Sun could wake her up her parents shouted loudly

"HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY " she woke up with a jerk and closed her ears by keeping her palms on each ear.

"Why the fuck u r shouting?" She too screamed.

"Because it's ur BIRTHDAY today " Ishita said loudly and spank her one butt .

"Ouu " she rubbed her bum.

"Wake up lazy ass..... U slept too much....And ur friends are eating my brain from night....U kept ur ph off and slept before 12 .....How could u sleep so early on ur own bday ? " saying this Ishita sat near her.

"Isshuu..... It's not a big deal...... Don't trouble my princess ...... It's her bday today " Raman said lovingly and Nandini instantly hugged him sitting on her bed only. And Ishita rolled her eyes because of his protective nature he didn't let her wish at 12am seeing Nandini sleeping and now also only he is getting all attention.

"Happy Birthday baby " he caressed her hair and kissed her forehead.

"Awww......Thank you" she kissed his cheeks.

"Umm ...umm" Ishita try to gain their attention.

"Ohh Ishita thanks to you too" Nandini instantly kissed her cheeks and hugged her in sitting position only. Raman too settled near them and keep caressing her hair . Their sweet little family.

" Umm.....Where r my gifts?" Lifting her head up she asked them and they chuckled at her cute antiques. Every year she does this.

"Here" Raman forwarded his gift .

"File?" Nandu frowned.

"Yeah open it and sign it ..... It's ur gift" Raman gave her pen . She started reading pages in the file and suddenly started feeling nervous.

"Papa I don't want this gift " she gave him his file back. And pouted

"Why Nandu?....... Eventually all this belongs to you..... U r My only daughter.....And now that u turned 22 today so ur sober enough" Raman try to convince her.

"I know I am BBA student but still u know na buisness is not my thing......And u r shifting our whole Murthy Industry on my name....I am not eligible enough " she tried to make him understand.

"Hey relax ...... I am not asking u to handle whole business at least not now....... U don't need to run business as far as I am there......U just need to visit it sometimes......But I wanted to make u MD ...... It's ur right only " he caressed her cheeks.

"Okay ....... But Papa don't announce it in front of world please " she put forward her condition and Raman pouted.

"Why?"

"Because I want to join acting industry and I don't want anyone to think that ...... I achieved position in industry because of my power instead of my talent " she explained .

"But..."

"Okay fine announce it on my next birthday till then let me make my identity by my own " and now both parents admired their little symbol of love with pride in their eyes.

"Okay" he kissed her forehead and Ishita hold Nandini in her embrace.

"Now it's ur time mom...... I hope u must have braught something which I can accept happily without hesitation " she taunted Raman dramatically. Ishita chuckled and Raman made sad face.

"Here it is " forwarded a gift box

"Ohh holy fuck......Ishi maa it's beautiful just like u " she jumped with excitement.

Ishita's gift (diamond molten drop pendant on  whisper platinum chain)

"I knew u will love it ...... And it will suit your red dress which u bought for bday.....So wear it and get ready " Ishita said getting up from her bed.

"We have changed our plan ...... As we didn't go to club yesterday so we will go on Sunday..... So I will wear red dress and this gift on Sunday night ...... Now u guys move out I need to get ready my friends must be waiting " she instantly got up from bed .

"Yeah Naina called me half hour ago ...... And asked me to told u that they r waiting so u go there instantly without even having breakfast " Ishita said and in five seconds Nandini was in washroom. They chuckled at their baby girl and left from her room.

.................||

"Ohh Nandini ur looking beautiful " Naina complimented as soon as she saw Nandini.

Nandini's look

"I second u " Rohan said.

"Actually ur looking awesome " Aayan too complimented.

"Gorgeous " the only word left from Sid's mouth he was literally gawking at her like a love sick puppy.

"Thank you everyone " she genuinely thanked them but her eyes were searching for one particular person but she didn't found him . Naina too noticed that.

"Where is Manik ?" Naina asked this question to boys . As they have said earlier that they will inform Manik.

"Actually we didn't get time to talk to him " Aayan said smiling sheepishly.

"Yeah due to his sudden weird behaviour" Sid pointed out and others chuckled a bit.

"His ph is off from yesterday ....... He don't even know it's ur bday today" Rohan's words grabbed attention of Nandini.   

"So what to do? ...... We should wait for him to come or we should start our celebration ?" Aayan asked and Nandini's ph rang. She smiled and instantly picked it up.

"Hello"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANDU " Neyonika chirped excitedly from that side .

"Thank you dear " she genuinely thanked her and then they talked for some time and Nandini also reminded her that she is coming to murthy mansion for dinner party.

"Neyo , where is Manik ? ...... Everyone is waiting for him " Nandini tried to sound casual but only she knew how her heart was beating fast due to nervousness. She is angry with him but at least she wants him near her on her birthday.

"Actually Nandini ...... He left for Pune yesterday ....... He directly went there after ur clg only....... He didn't came home and just called me saying that he is going there to check construction site and he will come till Sunday " Keeping stone on her heart Neyonika told her truth and instantly Nandini felt light pang on her hopeful heart and tears gathered in her eyes . Saying okay she cut the call. Neyonika also felt bad for her.

"He is not here so he won't come......Chalo .... Let's start our celebration " After wiping her tears secretly she put facade of happiness in front of her friends. Naina too noticed her sadness but remained silent.

Soon they celebrated her birthday in cafe near their clg with so much enthusiasm and she also maintain her fake smile and excitement. She don't want to make them sad and she wasn't that sad but she felt emptiness around her without Manik. She was happy too seeing their efforts to make her bday awesome. She felt special.

"Guys thank you so much I really liked ur  surprise...... This place is beautifully decorated ...... I just loved it" Boys have planned this when girls went for shopping and special efforts were taken by Sid.

"Nandu so what is ur age now ?" Sid's question made her nervous. Because she don't know what to answer because he never asked before, he just assumed her to be 18/19 .

"Don't you know some basic manners..... That never ask girl about her age ...... Show some decency man " instantly Naina changed subject and everyone sighed in relief.

"Ohh yeah so I , like a gentleman asking u to open ur all gifts which r placed over there between balloons" Sid show her way towards her gifts .

She opened gifts one by one and all were so beautiful .

Rohan's gift

Naina's gift

Aayan's gift

Sid's gift

"Wow ur gifts are more beautiful and sexy than u guys..... I really loved them......Thank you so much everyone " seeing gifts her mood lighten up instantly . Who doesn't love gifts , everyone does.

But she checked that watch carefully and then said " Sid ur gift is awesome but it's too expensive.... I can't accept it " she politely denied because she was rich but her friend circle was mostly from upper middle class people . And others gift were around 10-20 thousands but his gift was worth RS 1,10,900.

"I can't take it back..... It's urs ...... And it's only half of my pocket money so relax " finally he  made her accept his gift. It wasn't so expensive for him because his father is a Billionaire .

After that they had their brunch together and Nandini paid their bill as her bday treat and after Sid left she invited her friends for small dinner party at her home. After they went to academy to meet Miss Ruby and their other fellows. They wanted to visit academy that's why they didn't told Sid about this and they planned her bday outside the clg only so he won't get suspicious about them .

Miss Ruby knew it's her birthday today so she also had bought one gift for her not so favourite prankster . She wished Nandini and gave her gift with real blessings and Nandini being overwhelmed hugged her lovingly.

Ruby's gift

"Wow it's so cute..... Now I can click pictures anywhere..... Thank you" seeing Nandini's happy face Ruby smiled.

"I am happy that u liked it " Ruby said and after few chit chats about clg and all they left for their houses. But in between the conversation Ruby get's to know that Manik is not with Nandini today , she also saw hurt in her eyes and prayed to God to give Manik some brain to keep a single reason behind his happiness and peace, happy that is Nandini.

In Pune ,

It was evening 7pm , and Manik was damned tired because whole day he worked really hard with labourers on construction site. He wanted to distract his mind from her and sitting doing nothing in the cabin had ate him up with contradictory thoughts from yesterday when he left that classroom.

He was exhausted physically, his back and legs were paining but more than that his mind was tired so to free his mind from numerous thoughts he started walking on normal street with blank mind .

Evening was beautiful and air was soothing he was passing by an park side that time , his eyes roamed over the area from outside and he saw few couple smooching each other's lips , some r bickering , some r talking and one couple was sitting under the tree where boy's head was on girl's lap and she was caressing his hair nd forehead, the scene was surreal that he instantly remembered his peace that lies in her . Smiling painfully he moved forward and then he saw panipuri stall where that girl was feeding panipuri to her bf and boy was throwing tantrums on her but still she forced him . Suddenly overwhelming tears gathered in Manik's eyes when he remembered their night and he realised he is hungry too, he haven't ate anything after breakfast and she haven't fed him yet when she have told him that she will never let him skip meals. Observing area he realised everyone is happy because of each other's presence in their lives and he wanted to see her ,touch her , feel her , engulfed her and wanted to get captured in her warm embrace for lifetime.

His thoughts came to hault when he heard familiar voices and he turned around to get hugged by his cousin brother Abir.

"Where were u lost Manik?...... We called u several times......And when u came to Pune and why didn't you informed me? .... Ohh I am so happy " Abir blabbered continuously and Manik stood there being lost.

"Let him breathe Abir" Mishti scolded Abir.

"And Manik how come u r here and that too today?....... When u should be in Mumbai" She asked him.

"Why is it so ?" Manik asked suspiciously.

"I thought u might be celebrating Nandu's Birthday with her " she said sadly. Because she was already sad that she didn't met her best friend on this year and it's first time . Off course she called her but still.

"Whatt?.... It's her birthday today?" He questioned back being lost in his thoughts.

"Yeah" After hearing Mishti , without saying any other word to then he ran from there and they were confused with his behaviour.

He instantly grabbed his car keys and left from there. After sitting in the car he switched on his cell ph which he had kept switched off from yesterday evening. He saw numerous msgs from his frnds like, discussing about her bday , and sharing plan with him , asking him where he is and also saw so many unanswered calls . He also saw Neyonika's msg telling him about bday and requesting him to come to her bday. Without replying anyone he dialled number of one servent from his house and asked that person to pack his all single shirts ( not T shirts and shirts of three piece suit but only shirts) in bags he will be there in 2/3 hrs.

In murthy mansion ,

Choosen few members and her friends came to small birthday dinner party of Nandini. She was happy seeing everyone putting so much efforts but one part of her was sad and that caught Neyonika's attention and also Ishita saw that hurt in Nandini's eyes when she found Neyonika coming alone without Manik. But eventually they celebrated her birthday cheerfully as usual and had best food in dinner. And after giving blessings and gifts everyone left from Murthy mansion and only Neyonika was left .

"Nandu ...... Here it is ..... It's for u..... Hope u will like it" Neyonika forwarded gift towards Nandini and she accepted happily.

"Woww it's sexy like u ......Thank you Neyo " opening gift she jumped on Neyonika out of happiness and Neyonika too hugged her back.

"U like it?"

"Off course I Loved it" Nandini without saying anything accepted her gift because Neyonika includes in her own people so there wasn't any hesitation like she felt while accepting Sid's gift.

Neyonika's gift ( iphone 11 Pro max)

"Once again happy birthday.......Now I should leave .......Nandini I tried but I am sorry" saying this Neyonika left for her house she didn't looked back because she knew she won't be able to see that hurt in Nandini's eyes . Because she is so innocent and it was supposed to be her first bday with her son but he wasn't here so obviously Nandini must be sad.

After such eventful day Nandini went to her room kept all gifts at safe place moved towards her cupboard opening door of cupboard she took that white shirt thinking maybe at least it will made her feel like being in his embrace inhaling his cologne. She took relaxing bath removing cake and all from her body and she wore only his shirt and shorts. And lay down on her bed thinking about him and hugging herself in his shirt.

................||

He managed to reached Mumbai in just 3 hrs inspite of having traffic jam throughout the journey and scaring shit out of people in one shop to give him what he want in minutes . He don't wanted to disturb Neyonika so remembering Nandini's way of entering his house. He also sneaked in his room through ladder and picked up two bags of shirts and left from there he also took ladder with him .

...............||

Nandini panicked hearing sounds outside the balcony door. Actually she was scared she thought what if there would be any ghost or kidnapper outside the door. But still gathering some courage she opened the balcony door.

"Youuu " she screamed loudly and he tried to come close to her.

"Fuck u Malhotra" she stepped back and shouted on him showing him that valcono can burst anytime soon. He knew he deserves her anger and also she can hit him . But still not knowing how to respond he chose to tease her.

Coming close to her and roaming his one finger on her arm he huskily said "U know....I would love to get fucked by yo...." his words left in the middle when she did unexpected thing and grabbed his lips in her mouth furiously where he was expecting punch from her.

She was vigorously kissing him , she poured all her anger on his lips by nibbling them and greezing them by her teeth she showed her hunger . Later on she sucked his lips trying to capture his whole mouth in her she didn't let him respond but kept kissing him showing her vulnerability without him . And finally being out of breath she left his lips .

Finally realising he is kissed by her he blushed and started smiling but soon it got vanished hearing her next words.

"Umm.....Sry Manik ..... It was mistake " her words felt like a bomb on his delicate heart and he realised how she might have felt when he ruined their most precious moment calling it as a mistake. Soon before he could came out of his guilt he received punch from boxer Nandu.

(Punch on audience demands 😛)

"I am sorry" he could managed to utter only these words . And looked down out of shame.

"For what Manik?" She asked hysterically.

He looked at her and cupped her cheeks this time she didn't pushed him back . Looking straight into her eyes he said " For everything ,for hurting u again and again......It wasn't ur fault but always it was my fault..... I was insecured because whenever I used to be happy in past  my happiness used to got snatched.....Then I started thinking I don't deserve happiness until I met u.....U started changing me and I was loving that change because u were introducing me again with my old self with improved version......I became Manik because of u but that day after seeing mom in hospital I remembered that I don't deserve happiness and it was temporary.......I was also angry on you because u broke my promise but u were too cute to be angry on u that's why I punished both of us in last 2/3 weeks ...... I am sorry" listening to his heartfelt words she melted but also she can't forget everything this easily.

"U have decided to leave me ...... Forget us then what happened suddenly?" She asked sternly.

"I was jerk to think that U will remain happy and innocent without me...... Because I made u totally opposite in those days by staying away from u ...... U were vulnerable , u were missing me and u were hopeful , u were not that chirpy Nandini.....But trust me Nandini living 8 yrs lonely wasn't that difficult but living fifteen days without you was most difficult...... Today I realised my happiness and peace lies with u ...... And also u keep me sane otherwise people r ready to send me in mental asylum " he confessed his feelings and rested his forehead on her. And she hugged him close to her. She knew he will come to her only and she was ready to forgive him as he asked her before only to forgive him because he can't live without doing mistakes and she has accepted him with his flaws. But off course she will punish him to keep him on track.

After breaking hug she observed two bags near his foot " What is that?" She asked.

"Ur bday gift" he smiled and gave her bags and she frowned . But entered inside the room with two bags opening them she found what she always wanted.

"Are u serious Manik?" Her eyes sparkled and he chuckled.

"Off course ....... It looks more sexy on u than me ...... Just like now , ur looking hot in my white shirt " she blushed hearing his comment and hide her face in his one of shirt . He came close and held one more gift in front of her.

"One more "

"Yeah "

"But all ur shirts are enough for me "

"So u don't want it ......Then okay I need to find someone who will accept this " before he could take back his hand , instantly she grabbed that box and started opening that and he just smiled at her antiques.

"Like it?"

"Loved it ....... Thank you.....thank you " she again hugged him so tightly and then left him and move near mirror to have look of his gift on her . He was really tired so he sat on her bed and kept watching her moves .

Manik's gift (Imagine navy blue instead of black because I didn't find saree like this in Navy Blue)

She was admiring herself by putting saree gifted by him on her shoulder and she was really very happy . In fact she loved his gift more than others.

"But I thought u love Red color?" She asked but her gaze was on mirror only.

"But u look temptating in Navy Blue......I always felt aroused seeing u in that colour......If u remember when I lost my control for first time u were wearing Navy Blue and also when I kissed u for first time that time also u were wearing this colour......So may be this time also I will do something for first time....U know " his teasing talks were surely turning her on . She felt aroused with his talks only and her face was totally red due to blushing.

She observed him and he looked more tired , his clothes were dirty because of dust nd soil marks , his look was totally exhausted and he was stretching his muscles every now and then. Without saying word she went down and came after 10 mins.

"Where were you?........ U know how worried I was that I thought u will complain about me to ur parents " he joked out and she forwarded plate full of chicken biryani. She thought may be he will come for dinner that's why asked to keep Biryani in menu .

"I know u haven't eat anything ...... So this " she kept spoon full of biryani in between his lips and he was speechless she made him emotional mess he don't feel anything less than most special person on earth to have her. He ate silently. He ate whole plate  biryani , by her hands he was really hungry . He ate full stomach after weeks .

She made him drink water and cleaned his face with her hands . Whole time he was admiring her silently. She kept bags and saree in cupboard , she asked him to freshen up but he was too tired so he just removed his footwear. So she herself cleaned him by wet hot towel.

"Make urself comfortable and sleep here only ....... U look too tired " she ordered him. She was calm and she was happy too but something was missing in her she don't look normal.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her and she landed on his chest "What happened?..... And don't lie " he demanded for answer and she hide herself in his chest.

"I don't know Manik....... But my heart was hurt ....... Don't ever leave me again......I can forgive u for ur stupid mistakes......And u can make mistakes too but don't ever made any sin so that I won't be able to forgive u.....I can't imagine me without u please stay by my side forever" she cried out her insecurity of losing him and he broke the hug and moved downwards closing his eyes he kissed over her heart and kept his lips there on fabric to let her feel depth of his feelings for her. She closed her eyes in anticipation of his action.

"Does it still hurts?" Moving up he asked

"No" she got all her answers . Now she don't need his words because his lips r capable enough to soothe her . He looked up to see 11.55 in digital clock. 

"No matter how late but eventually I will come to you and only .................
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE MINION....." he captured her lips , sealing his wish with kiss. Kiss was slow , sweet and passionate they smiled through kiss . It was blissful and surreal moment between two souls observed by the bright shining moon in the sky outside her balcony. This wish was best and special among all wishes of day. He have that charm to turned her world upside down within seconds.
